"Best Tank" for each boss

Wasn't sure where this should go, but if you had to pick the best tank for each fight, what would it be? I reckon most of them don't really matter. What say you?

Naxx25:

Arcahnid Quarter
Anub'Rekhan: Pally with PoJ to outrun insect swarm faster : )
Grand Widow Faerlina: Anyone who can move out of AoE
Maexxna: Anyone with a Shield wall for enrage


Construct Quarter
Patchwerk: Druid and Warrior OT's, Pally MT
Grobbulus: Pallies can't taunt adds off MT. I've tanked it every time and refrained from using aoe when the adds spawn
Gluth: Pallies kite adds, anyone can MT?
Thaddius: DPS race, tank with lowest OT DPS should MT: Paladin


Military Quarter
Instructor Razuvious: Anything, mobs are MC'd
Gothik the Harvester: Paladin on Undead side,
The Four Horsemen: Anything but two paladins


Plague Quarter

Noth the Plaguebringer: Any MT, Pally OT's
Heigan the Unclean: Any MT that can dance
Loatheb: ?


Frostwyrm Lair
Sapphiron: OP pally threat + frost aura
Kel'Thuzad: DK tank? Pally OT's


Obsidian Sanctum:

Sartharion: ? (we used a bear)


The Eye of Eternity:

Malygos: Druid, big slow smacks.

True that!

Though I'd wager that a player's reactions, skill and understanding value more than being the "best" class. Unless, of course, we're talking magical damage boss and DKs. Hullo, Balinda Jokehearth.

But yes, I see your point. Best player on best class for an encounter = win.

My take:

Naxx25:

Arcahnid Quarter
Anub'Rekhan: Any, honestly. Speed enchants/talents helpful
Grand Widow Faerlina: DK for Grand Widow, shield tank for worshippers
Maexxna: DK


Construct Quarter
Patchwerk: Shield tank for MT, druids/DKs for OT
Grobbulus: Anyone for MT, anyone but pallies for OT until new taunt
Gluth: Pallies kite adds (if no one better), anyone can MT
Thaddius: DPS race -> Paladin MT (Spike aggro), but honestly anyone


Military Quarter
Instructor Razuvious: Paladin add tank (longer range taunt, spike threat to keep adds away from healers)
Gothik the Harvester: Paladins/DKs (Big mobs live side are still undead!)
The Four Horsemen: Anything but two paladins


Plague Quarter
Noth the Plaguebringer: Any MT, Pally/DK OT's
Heigan the Unclean: Any MT
Loatheb: Non-paladin tank (I go desperately mana dry without healing)


Frostwyrm Lair
Sapphiron: OP pally threat + frost aura
Kel'Thuzad: DK tank, Pally OT's


Obsidian Sanctum:
Sartharion: Any, Pally/DK for adds


The Eye of Eternity:
Malygos: DK/Druid (haven't been here yet, so no real idea Wink )
